Quotes.

Quotations. Unless it's an excerpt that's in the anthology. You could have an excerpt from a novel or a long poem, for example, and the novel with me italicized, not underlined.
*I think what CQ Wonderful meant to type was: "When typed on a computer, novels are italicized"

Titles of short stories and short poems are put in quotation marks ("inverted commas" to Brits). Titles of books, including book-length poems, are underlined or put in italics. But titles of OLD literary works, no matter how short, are always put in italics (or underlined). For plays, one-act plays are like short stories; longer plays are like books.
I'd give examples if it were possible to underline or italicize on this site!

Short stories in quotation marks, books underlined.

The above answers are both right.
Novels are underlined on typewriters or hand-written works. When typed on a computer, novels are italicized.
Short stories are in quotes.
Update: Fixed, thanks for the heads up.
